One of the things that you learn when you have lived in Spain for a time is that things are not what they seem in many cases. This may well be why “Spain is Different” still holds true. What on the surface can seem a totally normal thing has millions of tentacles and subplots underneath. Today’s question is what are the banks doing? Now Spanish banks look safe and have not had the huge upheavals of the States or The UK. However there is something going on and I would like to make a few suppositions here as everybody loves a good conspiracy theory.
